<br></div>As it is, you would be better served by asking the Theme author to explain that statement before making any assumptions. As noted, it may only be that they are supporting current versions of IE and simply left off the version number in their readme file.<br>
<br></div>Myself, for general distribution themes, I only support current (or one version back at the most) browsers. I don't state the actual version only making reference to the browser being current. Of course, client work is generally different but those "rules" do not necessarily apply here.<br>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">That's a great question, actually. I'd like to know what the general consensus is on this matter. Don't worry about being fussy. I've been doing front-end for many years. So, I totally get it.<div>
<br></div><div>My personal opinion is if they're not going to support certain browsers (aka, the browsers most of us web developers have to support on a daily basis), the author <i>should</i> make it known up front - especially in the CSS file for good documentation purposes. Some sort of clarification from the author would be nice in this case. Maybe they're just not supporting older versions of IE and it looks fine in IE10, and maybe even IE9.</div>

<div>Hi everyone!</div><div><br></div><div>So I'm reviewing my first theme, and a few mins into it I find this in the readme.txt:</div><div><span style="font-family:monospace;white-space:pre-wrap"><br>
</span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace;white-space:pre-wrap">* NOT SUPPORTED on Internet Explore *</span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Is that okay? Are themes allowed to be built and not work in IE at all? It's probably the fussy web developer side of me coming out here, as everything I do has to work in IE8+ :) I've not got so far as to have tested it in IE yet, but are we even required to do cross browser testing? I think we should, but I can't see that in the review guidelines anywhere.</span></div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Anyway, please let me know if I'm just being too fussy here! (and sorry if this has been asked before but I just joined this mailing list a couple of days ago)</span></div>
